i think i might ask santa claus for it as I loved it too

[TwoIfBySea]

Thanks for that Popsycal, just looked and it is that one so will be popping into Tesco tomorrow morning to buy it!

Yipee!

D'you think I could get ds twins interested? I bought them the set of Dogtanian and they love it! DH did remember that and enjoyed it, so we bought it just so he could sing along "woof woof woof woof woof! Muskehounds are always ready!"

[popsycal]

here you go!!!

[popsycal]

omg!!1
i saw the dubbed version of heidi in our tesco store just the other day and got all nostalgic!!! it was in the top 30!!

[TwoIfBySea]

Oh the Barbapapa's I loved them and have spent ages trying to remember the correct name (annoying DH who can't remember anything!) Great for doodling in school jotters!

Best theme tune was Jamie and The Magic Torch.

I loved Ivor The Engine, the Clangers, Red Hand Gang, the original Moomins.

What was that one on ITV, on at lunchtime where there was a dinosaur dancing at the end of it? Promise it was real!

There was also Heidi, my absolute favourite, a dubbed German version from the late 60s/early 70s and I have been trying to find it on DVD or video but had no sucess not even in Germany!

[whizzz]

Excellent !

[tamum]

Here it is whizzz, if you're interested!

[tamum]

I was just as bad hmb, don't worry

I think there was an earlier discussion about Robinson Crusoe on here, wasn't there? I found a website where you could listen to that evocative music....

[hmb]

Never knew a Stephen Adrew anything, I was just rather dim! I was an adult when I worked out my mistake

[whizzz]

I think MN should do a survey on all of this!! Brings make some memories - I also used the like the Flashing Blade. Robinson Crusoe was also foreign (& a bit of a dish if I remember correctly !)

Tales of the Riverbank with Hammy Hamster & Mary, Mungo & Midge were good.

[tamum]

hmb, did you know someone called Stephen Andrew Rowlands who you thought might have been a friend of Casey's, or was that just out of your own head? I used to watch it but don't remember having the faintest idea of what was going on.

Tingha and Tucker - anyone remember them? Auntie Jean? Anyone who saw it would never forget their seminal performance of the Moses story, starring Willy Wombat as Moses and Wendy Wombat (the same puppet as Willy but wearing a blonde wig) as Miriam

[Lowryn]

Oh yes, The Adventure game!
I was naive enough to think that the contestants that got hit by the vortex didn't ever return!

I loved Bod and The Flumps, Rod and Emu and Rent a Ghost too.

[hmb]

I'm ashamed to say that I always thought that the words for Casey Jones were,
Casey Jones, Stephen Andrew Rowlands,
Casey Jones, you never have to guiess.

Why I never thought this odd is beyond me!

[hmb]

Time Slip, The tomorrow people (oh how I wanted to be able to 'jaunt' still do if I'm honest ), Blue Peter, Ace of Wands, The Double Deckers, Jackanorey, Tales of the River Bank and Noggin the Nog.

I also remember (not sure if I loved tho) Belle and Sebastian, White Horses and the singing Ringing tree, now that one was wierd.

Anyone else remember 'If you were me' when kids from different countries swapped, I liked that one! Sort of like Wife Swap but without the Fing and Blinding!

[popsycal]

anyone remember a program called 'simon'

well you know my name is simon..
and the things i draw come true.....

[popsycal]

anyone remember hickory house with humphrey cushion in it?

I loved:
barnaby the bear
pipkins
the flumps
bod
animals crackers
barbapapa
chorlton and the wheelies
jamie etc

if you search MN there was a thread a while back where i posted loads of links.....

[80sMum]

"There'll be Casey Junior and the Redrock too, Fireman Wally and the rest of the crew, in a thrilling adventure that's a lot of fun, when Casey takes the Cannon for another run. Casey Jones, steamin' an' a rollin', Casey Jones, you never have to guess: When you hear the tootin' of the whistle it's Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express!" Can still hear it now!

[WigWamBam]

Casey Jones! Oh yes! The Cannonball Express!
And Skippy the Bush Kangaroo

[dottee]

Magpie to all you under 40!!!

[dottee]

I preferred Magpie to Blue Peter in the 70's. I think it was because I had a crush on Pete Brady. Weired ... I know!

[80sMum]

OK, so how many Tales from Europe can you remember? The one that sticks in my mind is The Singing Ringing Tree.

[turquoise]

Yep - "steamin and a'rollin.."
Loved those stripy hats!

[80sMum]

Thomcat, I LOVED Champion the Wonderhorse! I remember the song started something like .."like a mighty arrow whizzing from a bow .." or something. I remember Ricky and Uncle Sandy! Also loved the Woodentops, though by the time we got a tele (1966) I was a bit old for that sort of thing! Didn't know there were so many of us oldies out there! Anyone remember Casey Jones?

[Angeliz]

does anyone remember that wierd little cartoon character
"......... Munchenhausen" or something!!
